Viña Ijalba Maturana Blanca

As a result of his advocacy of Rioja wine heritage, Viña Ijalba decided to search for a white wine not to resort to foreign varieties. With the collaboration of the Regulatory Council, the University and the Government of La Rioja, the winery has undertaken a project to recover indigenous and minority varieties whose fruit was the Ijalba Maturana Blanca, a wine made from this variety (also known as Rivadavia ) that even today it is virtually disappeared has played a leading role in the region throughout history (his first documented references dating from 1622).

As minority variety, white maturana brings personality to the Rioja and produces white wines with high alcohol with high acidity but also well-balanced white. In its development, Viña Ijalba emphasizes the virtues of this variety with organic farming and autóconas yeast fermentation in barrels of French oak and lees contact. In short, the first white 100% white maturana marketed worldwide.

Yellow-green and gold, Viña Ijalba Maturana Blanca stands out for its aromas of honeyed fruit (banana, peach and tropical fruit) with touches vegetables and fennel. The palate is fresh, smooth, dense and very persistent. In his pairings, it is ideal for seafood, blue fish and light meat accompaniment.
